Thank you, Senator Mark Kelly!🇺🇸 Senator Mark Kelly: “It’s one thing to deport criminals, but you have to actually make sure they’re criminals. Throwing people out of the country without due process is un-American and it's ripping families apart.”

It has now been 30 days with NO humanitarian aid getting into Gaza. No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel. That is barbaric. The U.S. must end our complicity in these atrocities.

Dear CDC friends. Today was the most foolish of April Fool's days. We have not just lost jobs. With entire teams and offices being cut, we have lost vast amounts of institutional knowledge. Take the time you need to grieve. Then join your fired colleagues in the fight. www.firedbutfighting.com

I just got off the Senate floor where I joined Senator Booker who has been speaking since last night. His words remind us: this is not a left or right moment—it’s a right or wrong moment. We must stand up and fight back.

Safely rewriting the code that underpins Social Security systems would take years. DOGE wants it done in months. What could possibly go wrong?

BREAKING: DOGE is starting to put together a team to migrate the SSA's computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.

No, Elon. 40% of people who call Social Security's 1-800 number are not fraudsters, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme & nobody who is 150 years old is getting a Social Security check. Stop the lies. Stop the disinformation. Get your billionaire hands off Social Security.

The US spends almost twice as much per capita on health care as any other nation. Yet 85 million Americans are uninsured or under-insured and 68,000 die each year because they can’t afford a doctor. Health care must be a human right, not a privilege. We need Medicare for All.

In the hours before IRS leadership fired some 7,000 employees for allegedly poor performance, a top IRS lawyer flagged officials that “no one” at the agency had done such an assessment. The termination notice went out unchanged anyway. By @andykroll.bsky.social

It’s unclear exactly how many U.S. citizens have faced the Trump administration’s immigration dragnet so far. The government does not release such figures. Neither Border Patrol nor ICE would tell ProPublica how many Americans have been mistakenly detained. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Musk and Trump are working feverishly to cut Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, public education, nutrition and other programs. Why? So Musk and other billionaires can get a huge tax break. Together, we’re not going to let them get away with that.

Donald Trump promised he wouldn't cut Medicaid. This week, his friends in DC voted for a bill that would leave 3.4 million Illinoisans, including 1.4 million children, in the dust. Another middle finger to working families and the most vulnerable in our state.

"Cuts have no apparent regard for civil society or opportunity costs or long-term strategic thinking. Their targets are Elon Musk’s and Project 2025’s targets. They have found no fraud, just democracy at work. They’re apparently eager to see what happens when it no longer does." Brian Barrett:
